Rembrand unskippable in-scene placements
Rembrand
The core advantage is that Rembrand is selling ad time that rides inside the content itself, not around it. A pre roll can be skipped after a few seconds and a mid roll interrupts the scene, but an in scene placement stays visible for the whole shot while the viewer is already paying attention. That makes the ad harder to avoid and turns existing video frames into new inventory that creators and publishers can sell.

Rembrand inserts products after a video is already made, then gets paid on a CPM basis in its marketplace model, with creators receiving 75% of net revenue. That structure works because the placement is part of the footage the audience came to watch, not a separate ad slot bolted on before or during playback.

This is already a defined category, not a science project. Mirriad built a virtual product placement business across TV, streaming, music, and influencer content, and describes the format as measurable across linear and digital channels. Rembrand later expanded by partnering with and then buying Mirriad's U.S. operations, which shows the market values both scale and measurement.

The practical appeal for publishers is simple. A scene that already exists can carry a soda can on a table, a phone in a hand, or signage in the background without re shooting the content. That creates fresh monetizable surfaces in footage that otherwise would have earned nothing once the main sponsorship was set.
The category is heading toward programmatic, measurable in scene media sold more like standard video advertising. As Rembrand pushes its API model and folds in Spaceback and Mirriad assets, the winning platform will be the one that makes embedded placements easy to buy, target, measure, and run across large libraries of existing video.
